SEATAC, Wash. - Many of those who lived and worshipped with Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif in the SeaTac area only learned about his arrest Thursday night. They say it's not what they expected from the quiet man.
Muslims describe him as a family man who sometimes brought his wife and young son to worship. One man said he saw him just last Friday. But mostly people come here to pray then go about their business. They say a mosque is a place of worship, not indoctrination and that Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif never spoke about violence against the government.
“I never heard of him doing bad things, never. He brings his child here and prays, he has a wife. I know he’s a family person,” said Idris Shuar.
